⚫ | This is a list of the '''mammal species recorded in Grenada'''. These are the mammal species in [[Grenada]], of which 0 are critically endangered, 0 are endangered, 1 is vulnerable, and 0 are near-threatened. 1 species is considered extinct.<ref>This list is derived from the [[IUCN Red List]] which lists species of mammals and includes those mammals that have recently been classified as extinct (since 1500 AD). The taxonomy and naming of the individual species is based on those used in existing Wikipedia articles as of 21 May 2007 and supplemented by the common names and taxonomy from the IUCN, Smithsonian Institution, or University of Michigan where no Wikipedia article was available. |

The [[lagomorph]]s comprise two families, [[Leporidae]] ([[hare]]s and [[rabbit]]s), and Ochotonidae ([[pika]]s). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a [[Taxonomic rank|superfamily]] in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two. |
